Trading style <=> Personality?
In my day to day life, I'm generally quite a curious person. I would like to figure out things and find out reasons or possible explanations as to natural occurances. As such, I enjoyed studying the sciences and pursued studying in one. And a while back, I took a MBTI test (the long one) and here was a picture of it:
And being a INFP, it certainly fits the trope of me wishing to figure out things and using my intuition to learn. And learning about stocks is no different! With the quick personality test given by Moomoo, I was deduced to be an Analyst.
Certainly, it is indeed very closely related to the INFP, as suggested by the similarities, so I would agree that it is rather accurate!
And to probably make people cringe, my first ever purchase of assets, if you were to call it one, was the Shiba Inu cryptocoin. I would probably call myself more towards a YOLO person when it comes to dealing with small amounts of money. And only as of recently, I am looking into studying and researching properly before YOLOing and FOMOing.
That being said, I had bought (in small amounts) YOLO stocks such as $Palantir(PLTR.US$ and $Lippo Malls Tr(D5IU.SG$ ![]()
. I am also particularly bullish in the Healthcare sector, so some of my funds also went into $AB International Health Care Portfolio(LU0289739699.MF$.
However, the majority of my capital is currently residing in the $Fullerton SGD Cash Fund(SG9999005961.MF$, for the currwnt market is not doing particular well and the money market funds would thrive in such times.
While I probably will not adjust my trading style knowing my MBTI, it certainly has already impacted my decision making in not only just stocks, but in my general day to day life too!
One of the stark contrasts that I've noticed is one of my friends, with a similar MBTI personality. He has a portfolio that is more towards a riskier side.
When asked why not have a conservative portfolio, he had the general mindset that when young, it is the best time for us to be riskier, as we have more time to recoup, if needed.
While there is an argument to be made, it certainly isn't a wrong viewpoint. Which is possibly why I would imagine that MBTI personalities aren't solely an indicator to telling you what kind of investment choices you'll make.
It certainly affects it, but it isn't the whole story. As such, it is still important to read up and trust your gut in your investments!
